Income Tax Return Forms ITR-1 and ITR-4 Now Available for Online Filing with Prefilled Data

Income Tax Return (ITR) Forms 1 (Sahaj) and 4 (Sugam) are now available for online filing with pre-filled data for Assessment Year 2025-26. This initiative by the Income Tax Department aims to simplify the filing process for individual taxpayers and small businesses. The pre-filled data, which includes salary, interest income, and tax deducted at source (TDS), significantly reduces manual data entry and minimizes errors. This step aligns with the government's digital transformation efforts, making tax compliance more convenient and efficient for a large segment of taxpayers, promoting ease of doing business and improving tax administration.
